Palestine gets 87% of its electricity needs from Israel, and the rest from Jordan and Egypt, supported by local power generation through solar photovoltaic plants (which contribute to 5% of total consumption), and the Gaza Power Plant (which contributes about 140 MW).
The Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) supplies most of the electricity in the Palestinian territories. PETL is the sole buyer of imported electricity for distribution in West Bank Areas A and B and in the Gaza Strip, which in turn supplies the electricity to the six Palestinian distribution companies.
And upgrade of the electricity grid to enable distribution of renewable energy, by 2030 . The electrical energy system in Palestine state is different from any other country, because Palestine imports its energy from three different sources; from Israel (85 %), Jordan (2 %) and Egypt (3 %).
Electricity supply and demand According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), the total electrical energy consumption in Palestine in 2019 was reported to be 5,929.5 GWh. This quantity is almost entirely imported from outside sources, mainly from the Israel Electric Corporation (IEC), as shown in Table 1.
Because of the unpredictability of the power supply, some Gazans and government institutions use private electric generators, solar panels and uninterruptible power supply units to produce power

Almost all liquid fuel used in the Palestinian territories is supplied by or via Israel. The supply of petroleum is centrally located at two different terminals in the West Bank and one terminal at the Israel–Gaza barrier, at the Kerem Shalom crossing. These terminals do not have storage capacity for petroleum, which must therefore be used daily. In the case of Gaza, imported fuel is required to power the Gaza power plant, as well as for transportat
